Kolonialbeamter Posted April 15, 2016 Your Royal Highnesses, honorable Ladies and Gentlefolks, common people of the lands. The Royal Court and the High Council of Oleon welcome you in the great city of Granoleon for the Royal Coronation Festivities of our new and rightful Monarch, King Philip I. Be our guests over the course of the next weeks, enjoy your stay in the palaces, and celebrate with us! After this exciting time of dazzling festivities and glittering celebrations here in Granoleon, His Majesty and Queen Beatrice, together with their royal entourage will be touring Oleon’s colonies! Furthermore royal emissaries will be sent out to the royal courts of Halos and many cities of New Terra offering gifts and blessings on behalf of His Majesty to humbly show gratitude for the many exp<b></b>ressions of condolences after the passing of our beloved King Stéphan II. In the spirit of peace and conciliation it is the expressed wish of His Majesty to be generous to all that welcome his emissaries, and of course himself, the Queen and his royal entourage in the upcoming weeks. Description: This faction-challenge will require you to show how you receive King Philip I and Queen Beatrice, with or without their entourage, or only their entourage, in any of Oleon’s colonies. This can be on the festively decorated streets of Breshaun, it can show the royal couple attending a mass in a temple, it can be you waving from your house as the royal entourage passes by. Be creative - and friendly! As a royal gift, half of all license costs for properties, that fit the spirit of the contest, and are built and licensed in Oleon’s colonies during the contest is running, will be refunded. This offer isn’t limited to Oleanders, but all members of every faction can profit from it. If instead you choose to build in foreign lands, you can also do this and participate here. Just show how the royal emissaries are received in your city. You won’t be able to profit from half price licenses, but - like all participants - you are still eligible to win these prizes: From all entries five overall winners will be chosen, the 1st place will be rewarded 40DB, 2nd place: 30DB, and 3rd to 5th place: 20DB. Plus, there is a second category for those of you who cherish the arts: Entries here follow the same rules, but will be judged on general building creativity and most unusual part usage. The first three entries will receive 25DB each. Tl;dr: The Royal Court tours Oleon’s colonies, and emissaries of His Majesty are sent out to pay tribute to the Royal Courts of Halos, and whomever you like to depict. Show us how you receive them in joy and amity! Prizes: Category A: 1st place: 40DB, 2nd place: 30DB, 3rd to 5th place: 20DB. Category B: Top three ‘artsy’ entries get 25DB each. If you build in Oleon’s colonies: Half of all costs for licensable properties, that fit the spirit of this contest, are refunded after the contest. Rules: Entries must be submitted by May 15th, anywhere in the world They must be presented in their own thread, and linked here, you may use [OL-CF-A] and [OL-CF-B] or similar markers for your entries’ threads Entries are not eligible as FB The category of your entry must be stated One entry cannot count for both categories Only one prize per builder per category Licensable entries must follow the general property rules, especially concerning the number of properties allowed per month: one entry in two settlements or three entries in one settlement Properties have to be licensed while the contest is running to be refunded No build size restrictions If you build digitally, use only valid color-part-combinations, and rendering your images will surely please the judges Good luck and have fun! Vive le Roi! After having returned to Granoleon, His Majesty would like to express his sincere gratitude to all who welcomed the Queen, himself and his entourage on their visit to the fascinating cities of New Terra. His Majesty would furthermore like to mention a number of honorable citizens, who impressed His Majesty notably, and has instructed the Intendant Général des Finances to compensate them for their hospitality.

Bregir Posted April 17, 2016 Great way to introduce a new king and nice idea for a challenge. I do not know if I will have the time to participate, but I will most definitely follow it with great interest!

Vedauwoo Posted April 17, 2016 ...show how the royal emissaries are received in your city. Do said "emissaries" have a a standard uniform, style of dress, manner of travel, etc? (to insure accuracy) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolonialbeamter Posted April 17, 2016 Do said "emissaries" have a a standard uniform, style of dress, manner of travel, etc? (to insure accuracy) In the interest of fairness - since no one has access to the same bricks - let's say no standard. As long as you manage to give them an Oleander look, depict them as you want If you don't have the proper bricks, a story can explain things... some - not all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kolonialbeamter Posted April 18, 2016 As I've said before, you've got a very generous, well king, or something like that ... Yes, His Majesty is indeed a gracious King And as the unchallenged and absolute Monarch of Oleon that His Majesty is, he very much appreciates kind words.
